LITERAL:
If you’re in Vancouver on May 26th-28th, be sure to book in to NIME, an international conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression. Don Buchla is giving the keynote speech and past conferences have been stuffed with bizarro musical ideas like the Thermoscore [pdf], a form of temperature-related musical notation, and the Squiggle [pdf], a bendy-shape related instrument being played by it’s creator, Brian Sheehan, in the picture. Full conference details. If you’re going, and want to report for MT, please get in touch.
